We have a site that uses both Omniture and Google Analytics. Ideally, we want to report in both suites on clicks to outbound links.

I'd like to do this the "right way," i.e. overcoming the race condition that occurs when requesting a site and the tracking pixel at the same time. See: http://www.gwotricks.com/test/2009/07/tracking-outbound-links-right-way.html

I probably wouldn't use the "onclick" attribute, instead binding the trackEvent to the link's click event.

Omniture's external link tracking overcomes the condition by hooking a 500ms delay into s.tl():

Has anyone tried doing both on the same site? Ideally I'd like to call both tracking pixels with an appropriate amount of time before the page executes, but I'm not a big enough omniture buff to really have gone in-depth with their code and hook trackEvent in before the delay.
